I typically like to know what he does with his GF or how their relationship is going, but now that they are getting an apartment together and he's talking about how they went shopping for this or looking for that I am finding that maybe I should stop being so curious about their life together. i dont think i can handle it anymore as i get really aggravated when he brings her up. do you like to hear about their life together or do you prefer it is kept a mystery?

I enjoy hearing about her time with her family. She has children by 2 men and is married to the 3rd who has children. I know that she basically loves her husband and has absolutely no intentions of leaving him, and that occasionally

I have no problem hearing stuff about his wife, since I know that it's basically a loveless relationship (he "loves" her but isn't "in love" with her, just as it was with my H). Also, it's basically a sexless relationship, so the few times he has had sex with her since we started our A he has told me about them, and how perfunctory the experiences were. (I will admit though, I did get jealous the first time he told me, but when I realized how *bad* the experience was I got over it quickly.)


So, while I don't get any real joy from hearing about his W, I certainly don't mind it. It's mostly a chance for him to vent (he doesn't talk crap about her, just an airing of grievances, and really, how much she takes him for granted, or, how much crap she gives him even with the amount of things he does around the house/with the children, etc.). We do discuss everything, and this includes our personal/family lives.
